Although over the lasttwo decades reported cholera cases and disease distribution has declined, approximately 10% of the country&rsquo;s population stillremains vulnerable to the disease.The decline has been largely dueto sustained improvement in social services, particularly inincreased knowledge on prevention of cholera, and increased accessto safe water, sanitation and better medical services.Cholera prevention and control requires multi-sectoral collaborationas thevarious factors responsible for cholera propagation cutacross several sectors. Major sectors/ ministries in prevention andcontrol are; Ministry of Health (MOH), Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE), Ministry of Local Government (MOLG), Officeof the Prime Minister (OPM),Ministry of Education and Sports(MOES), Ministry of Finance Planning and Development(MOFPD),Ministry of Urban Development, etc. The MOH is the leadgovernmentsector in prevention and control of cholera outbreaks.</p>2018-03-27 09:37:26PERFORMANCE OF THE ECONOMY REPORT FEBRUARY 2018/information/33<p style="text-align: justify;">Inflation: Annual headline inflation declined from 3.0% in January 2018 to 2.1% in February 2018,<br />mainly driven by a significant decline in sugar prices as well as a slowdown in the price increase for<br />food crops and related Items.Indices of Economic Activity: The Composite Index of Economic Activity (CIEA) improved from 210 inDecember 2017 to 211 in January 2018, reflecting continued improvement in economic activity.

Annual headline inflation declined to 3 percent from 3.3 percent recorded in December 2017. The drop was largely attributed to a slow-down in the pace of increase in general prices of energy, fuel, utilities and for goods and services in thecore basket.High frequency indicators of economic activity remained positive. This gives anindication of an increasing level of economic activity and positive sentiments ondoing business going forward by the private sector.</p>2018-03-27 09:08:57LAUNCH OF THE UGANDA LEARNING CAMPAIGN /information/31<p style="text-align: justify;">During school second term in June- August 2017, USAID in partnership with Ministry of Education and Sports implemented a Pilot Social Behaviour Change Communication Campaign in Mityana to develop content for the Uganda Learning Campaign.</p>2018-03-07 11:19:12Guidelines for Staff Employment in Private Schools and Institutions/information/30<p style="text-align: justify;">Guidelines for Employment of Staff in Private Schools and Institutions are made under Section 57 (j) of the Education (Pre-primary, Primary and Post-primary) Act 2008 by which the Minister is mandated to make regulations to give full effect to the provisions of the Act, and specifically Section 44 (3), that empowers the Minister to, from time to time, issue instructions to private school owners on aspects of school management in order to safeguard the interests of learners.<br />The guidelines take into consideration other relevant provisions of this Act, as well as provisions of the following related Acts, policy statements, statutory instruments and regulations among others:</p>2018-03-07 11:02:55SCHOLARSHIP OFFER/information/292018-03-01 11:07:35 Q1 DETAILED EXPENDITURE LIMITS FOR EDUCATION SECTOR FOR FY 2017-2018./information/28<div class="row">

Significant recovery in the euro area, Japan, emerging Asia, emerging Europe, and Russia more than offset downward revisions for the United States and the United Kingdom. The stronger recovery in economic activity is supported by growth in investment, trade and industrial production as well as business and consumer confidence. However; it is worth noting that whereas the short-term outlook on global growth is strong, the medium-term outlook is a rather cautious one as growth and inflation in many countries remain below expected targets. Additionally; in Sub-Saharan Africa, economic growth has been slowed down by country specific factors in the region&rsquo;s largest economies as well as slow implementation of policy adjustments. Furthermore, fuel exporting countries continue to adjust to significant losses in foreign earnings</p>2018-02-07 10:26:08ICT AND NATIONAL GUIDANCE SECTOR BUDGET FRAMEWORK PAPER FY 2018/19 – FY 2022/23/information/23<p style="text-align: justify;">This Budget Framework Paper for ICT and National Guidance Sector has been prepared in fulfilment of therequirements under Section 9 of the Public Finance Management Act 2015.This BFP articulates the sectors contribution to the NDP II; the Medium Term Sector Policy Objectives; sectorchallenges; the performance for first quarter FY 2017/18; summary of performance for FY 2016/17; outcome indicatorsand projections for the period FY 2016/17 to FY 2020/21; and Planned Outputs for FY 2018/19.</p>2018-02-06 22:24:36HEALTH SECTOR BUDGET FRAMEWORK PAPER FY 2018/19 – FY 2022/23/information/22<p style="text-align: justify;">The Health Sector Budget Frame Paper (BFP) was developed within the context of the Sector Wide Approach (SWAP)premised on the Programme Based Budgeting (PBB) principles.

The decrease mainly arises out of funds for gratuity (Ushs.1.71bn) which has been withdrawn fromthe MTEF and the projected fall in the donor budget component. Of the allocated budget Ushs.1,474.17bn is for Wage,Ushs.480.17bn is Nonwage; Ushs.160.61bn is Domestic Development and Ushs.304.23bn is External Financing.The overall share of the Education Sector has reduced by 0.5% from 11.37% to 10.87% for FY 2018/19.For FY 2017/18, the Education and Sports Sector has an overall approved budget ofUshs.2,501.12bn, of whichUshs.1,474.17bn is for Wage, Ushs.477.38bn for Nonwage; Ushs. 160.61bn for Domestic Development andUshs.388.96bn for External Financing.</p>2018-02-06 22:10:16NATIONAL BUDGET FRAMEWORK PAPER FY 2018/19 – FY 2022/23/information/20<p style="text-align: justify;">The Budget Strategy for FY 2018/19 presented in this National Budget Framework Paper elaborates Governmentscontinued commitment to achieve middle income status.

Government recognizes that Strategic planning forms a foundation for good leadership and management in an organization. This Strategic Plan therefore sets out a common Vision, Mission and strategic direction for the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">This plan is intended to enable the Ministry take advantage of the opportunities available, and to address the challenges that could impede the Ministry&rsquo;s progress towards achievement of the NDPII targets.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A lot of dedicated effort and commitment has gone into the development of this strategic plan. I therefore take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all Ministry stakeholders who have effectively participated in this process. Special thanks go to the entire technical team of the ministry for mapping out the strategic plan in order to effectively execute the Ministry mandate of: formulating sound economic policies that enhance economic stability and development; mobilizing local and external financial resources for public expenditure; regulating financial management and ensuring efficiency in public expenditure; and overseeing national planning and strategic development initiatives for economic growth. Your unwavering commitment and teamwork is duly acknowledged.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I also acknowledge the contribution of our Semi-Autonomous Government Agencies for the collaboration and support they extended to the core team during the development of this plan. This strategic plan brings together all the goals, objectives and strategic activities of our various Departments. It is our conviction that on the basis of this strategic plan, the Ministry is on a firm footing to play its coordinating role in contributing towards a globally competitive and prosperous nation with a high quality of life for all Ugandans.</p>2018-01-23 07:10:10NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS AND LEPROSY CONTROL PROGRAMME Revised National Strategic Plan 2015/16 - 2019/20/information/11<p style="text-align: justify;">The Ministry of Health National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Programme (NTLP), in collaboration with partners, revised its five-year strategic plan 2015/16 &ndash; 2019/20 to incorporate findings from the 2014/15 national tuberculosis (TB) prevalence survey. The survey revealed a higher TB burden than previously estimated and demonstrated that over 40,000 TB cases are missed every year. Although the TB survey revealed a more accurate estimate of the TB burden, the observed declining trend in TB case notification over the last 5 years could exacerbate TB transmission and lead to increased drug-resistant TB. The survey findings have several programmatic implications, including the imperative for more intensive efforts to detect the missing TB cases and to adequately respond to the expanded TB/HIV epidemic, requiring several changes in NTLP&rsquo;s strategies and interventions.<br />The revised National Strategic Plan also better aligns with the World Health Organization&rsquo;s (WHO) End TB Strategy and incorporates recommendations from various program reviews. Globally, Uganda is among 30 countries with the highest TB/HIV burdens. Although Uganda has made some progress to control tuberculosis and leprosy, we need to do a lot more to meet the national and global targets for TB and to prevent the emergence of extreme TB control challenges such as drug-resistant TB.</p>2018-01-23 06:10:05HEALTH FINANCING STRATEGY 2015/16 – 2024/25/information/9<p style="text-align: justify;">This is the second Health Financing Strategy for Uganda, and it comes at a time of global commitment towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Universal Health Coverage (UHC). It is anticipated that this strategy will serve as a critical element in Uganda&rsquo;s pathway to achieving the health-related SDGs and attaining UHC. UHC emphasizes access to good quality health care according to need, while at the same time limiting exposure to financial risk for those who seek care. Achieving UHC is a cornerstone of the new set of SDGs, which have been defined as the new global development goals. Uganda is transitioning from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to the SDGs, in which UHC is the all-encompassing health goal. The attainment of the UHC goal in any country requires a well-functioning health financing system. In developing the HFS, the MOH recognizes that the implementation of the financing reforms in this strategy will rely on existing systems and structures, and progressively move towards building the required systems for UHC.<br />The development of the HFS is underpinned by the Constitution, Vision 2040 and the National Development Plan (NDP II). Constitutionally, the Government of Uganda (GoU) has an obligation to provide basic health services to its people and to promote proper nutrition and healthy lifestyles. The Constitution further entitles all people in Uganda to enjoy rights and opportunities and to have access to education, health services and clean and safe water. Uganda&rsquo;s Vision 2040 envisions &ldquo;a transformed Ugandan society from a peasant to a modern and prosperous country within 30 years&rdquo; and has been developed to shape Uganda&rsquo;s long-term development strategy. Vision 2040 acknowledges that good health is essential in ensuring socio-economic transformation and is critical if Uganda is to attain its long-term vision. The NDP II1 also places great emphasis on investing in the promotion of people&rsquo;s health and nutrition, and the need to improve health and promote well-being.</p>2018-01-23 05:38:49STRATEGY FOR IMPROVING HEALTH SERVICE DELIVERY 2016-2021/information/8<p style="text-align: justify;">The health of the Ugandan population is central to the socio-economic transformation of the country. Along with<br />increased literacy rates and vibrant economic growth, health outcomes are improving which translates to better<br />health indicators. Over the last two decades, the Government of the Republic of Uganda has increased access to<br />health services two fold. By 1997, only 47% of the population who needed health care could access outpatient<br />services (NHP 1999). During that time, health facilities were few and far from communities, and the health system<br />that was degraded by years of civil strife and mismanagement was just beginning to recover. This figure has since<br />improved to about 110%, underscoring the ease of access to health facilities by the population (DHIS2 2015/16).</p>2018-01-19 06:45:12UGANDA RECEIVES NEW GLOBA FUND GRANT TO FIGHT HIV, MALARIA AND TUBERCULOSIS/information/7<p style="text-align: justify;">The government of uganda signed a grant agreement with the global fund worth USD478 millions for the implimentation period of 2018-2020 to support uganda's fight&nbsp;against HIV/AIDS,Tuberclulosis and Maleria epidemics.</p>
